We see a brighter alternative for ourselves and our families - via change of Government and a fresh start. The Burgundy Wave crew are United Voice members who are fed up with the poor priorities of the Liberal Government.

What do the Burgundy Wave Crew do?

We campaign.

We build towards political change.

We talk. We act.

Members of the Burgundy Wave do everything to help fire up momentum for political change - both at work and in our communities.

We talk in public about issues which matter, and chose to do activities we consider both effective and fun.

For example; we help workmates sign pledge cards, we engage in both online and offline campaigns, we lobby politicians with other United Voice members - and much more.

Some of us do a little, some of us do a lot. Every little bit of activity counts.

Should I join?

Do you think we need more secure and better paid jobs?

Do you think we need more funding for our Hospitals and Schools?

Do you think the Liberal Government values the big end of town at the expense of everyday families?

Are you sick and tired of it all?

Then YES! You should join the Burgundy Wave! Together we'll fight for a fair Australia.

United Voice is your union for enrolled nurses, assistants in nursing, hospital support works, and Aboriginal and ethnic health workers. We represent workers in private health across the state and in a range of facilities.

We fight for fair pay, better conditions and job security.

Through collective bargaining United Voice members win pay rises and significant improvements in our conditions of employment.

We empower workers to know their rights at work and advocate on issues impacting us. Members actively work towards solutions in our workplaces and to resolve issue with management through Joint Consultative Committees.

We’ve fought hard and had a lot of wins together – but there’s still work to be done.

The first step is to join United Voice so we’re as strong as possible, and can keep making progress for private health workers.

Quarterly General Meetings

Meetings are held every 3 months and are held at United Voice WA Offices at Level 2, 54 Cheriton St, Perth. Free street parking is available out the front of the building.

The dates for our upcoming 2019 QGM's are as follows:

20th March, 2019

31st July, 2019

25th September, 2019

18th December, 2019 (AGM)

Meetings begin at 6:00pm, and all members are encouraged to attend.

Membership Contributions (Fees)

United Voice members are on the front line; making our workplaces, industries and communities better places to work and live.

Together, United Voice members continue to win; winning better conditions for members at work, winning back-pay for workers who have been underpaid, and lets not forget the other big fights - helping to remove hostile governments.

All of this is possible because of the contributions you make to your union, personal and financial. But we know times are not easy right now - you don't need to look far to see people struggling.

Which is why your Union membership is so important!

We have some big opportunities and challenges ahead of us:

Reversing cuts to penalty rates in Hospitality.

Continue the fight for professional wages in Early Childhood Education and Care

Ensure Disability Support Workers pay and conditions are maintained under the NDIS

Campaign for better Aged Care funding so older Australians get the care they deserve

Improve access to Domestic Violence leave for workers in all industries

Work with the McGowan Government to secure permanent jobs in Health and Education

Work with the McGowan Government to improve accountability at St John Ambulance

Your contributions - both financial and otherwise - are what makes all this possible.
